Dear Dr. Sloth

Thank you for your July 7, 2011 response to my Sept. 15, 2010 email and Nov. 24, 2010 email regarding the scientific misconduct of Dr. Poul Thorsen.

Dr. Thorsen was a “scientist in residence” at the United States Centers for Disease Control (CDC) between 2000 and 2002. At this time, the CDC was very concerned regarding the putative causal relationship between infant vaccinations and autism. In fact, the CDC commissioned the Institute of Medicine (a body independent of the U.S. Government and commercial interests) of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences to specifically investigate this issue.
